Imagine waking up, grabbing your toothbrush, and starting your day not with minty freshness but the unmistakable zing of KFC’s 11 herbs and spices. Yep, that was a thing—thanks to a totally real, limited-edition fried chicken-flavored toothpaste from KFC and Aussie oral care brand HiSmile. And no, it wasn’t an April Fool’s prank. Okay, it was launched on April 1st, 2025, but the joke’s on us—it sold out within 48 hours.
Infused with the iconic taste of Original Recipe Chicken, the fluoride-free paste promised to clean your teeth while making your mouth water. It even came with a $59 KFC-branded electric toothbrush featuring three modes and a built-in timer—because if you’re going to brush with chicken, you might as well commit.
At US$13 a tube, it was finger-lickin’ clean, and now that it’s gone, dental hygiene just feels… bland. No word yet if dessert-flavored floss is next, but honestly, they’ve set the bar (and the weirdness) pretty high. KFC is no stranger in infusing KFC smell in things. There have been candles, perfumes, and even firelogs.
